On a day when I should be
praising the sweet lord, I once again get burned
by the devil that is karaoke. Ya see, Danny Rae (the
"connected" guy who saw me at Barney's 3 weeks
previous and thinks I need to sing karaoke for
exposure) asked me personally to come down this
Saturday to help him out. I hadn't been going the
past 2 weeks, one because Jess was sick, and the other
because I HATE IT. You're all more than
aware of my passionate loathing of karaoke. Well
today, I was finally going and was gonna do the right
thing for myself and go sing here. It's a big deal,
I guess, and it's more exposure than sitting on
the computer. So I make the 45 minute trek down
there - and it's cancelled indefinitely. The fire
department said the crowd was too big and they could
no longer do it. That, and Danny is nowhere to be
found.
When the only reason
to be at a place is to be seen (which
makes my skin crawl to say), and the guy
ain't there, your day is screwed. What a
waste. Jess and I just went and sat on a
bench in west hollywood. We did however
get some video of a rising star you should
be hearing soon. His name is
Hoamlez
Kraezeeman
(pronounced homeless crazy-man), and he is
VERY good. I'm glad I got to see him
first hand.

In other news, Palaur.com will be
released on April 1st (no foolin') as opposed to May
1st. I was somehow able to complete everything. The
testers are still working on the last few pages, and
I'm still working out all the legistics. If you don't
remember, I'm releasing a site instead of a CD for my
next project. The music is heavily influenced by
events that happened a couple years ago, and I took a
very detailed journal during this time. The story,
along with the music, plus movies and Late Show clips
(my old talk show), will all be released on April 1st,
2000. It really is a unique mix, that I hope can
inspire others to release their material in the same
manner. I cannot tell you how excited I am.
18 songs, 26 movies, 15 Late Show clips...the site is
HUGE, and it's all within a true story. Hope you're
looking forward to it.
On the 4tvs front I have 2 gigs
this week. Tuesday at Lulu's Beehive, a small
coffeehouse in Studio City, and again Wednesday at
Barney's. If you're in the Columbus area, by all means
fly LA and come see me! I'd love to have you.
(sigh) As well, we are inching closer and closer to
the elusive Ahhh! Capella gig. The 12 show engagement
I booked at the end of January. That should erally be
something else.
Oh, and if you happen to have no
clue what the hell this is, or who I am? Please
email me back and yell at me. I'll gladly take you off
the list. I've been getting my share of junkmail
lately and it sucks. I know. So just tell
me...but why don't you love me? :-)
